Where will my PC bottleneck? (First build since at least 7 years ago.. with my AMD phenom)

Your system is well balanced. Bottlenecks are only a concern for extremely mismatched parts.

with what that pc costs it better not bottleneck anywhere. biggest le down is the psu though its tier 4 get a better psu and dont blow up that rig....here is all t1 and t2 list. pick any of them. 700w or more

Tier One
The highest quality and most stable Power Supply Units available. Protected by industrial grade protection circuitry and can output wattage at a rated maximum temperature of 50°C or below. These units are also Haswell certified, meaning they can cope with the C6 and C7 sleep states of 0.05Amps without triggering the under-current protection switch. May even go over labelled wattage and still work until it safely shuts down.

^ that depends if its the 2012 green/black/white label cx750 or the 2015 silver/black label.

Either way the old 2912 would be tier 3 (it doesn't have much in common with the cx500/600 because its a different platform entirely)
The newer model would be a tier 2 if the PSU lists were anywhere close to bring up to date.

You honestly do want 2666nhz ram minimum on a ryzen for anything approaching optimal performance.

One thing to understand is that there will always be a bottleneck no matter how high end the PC parts are. 1080p with that rig the CPU is the bottleneck at 1440 or 4k then the GPU is the bottleneck. They will always exist but until the games catch up to the hardware there won't be a concern. In a couple of years you may have to dial down a few settings to run at the same speed. A true bottleneck is something like running an FX6300 chip with a GTX1080Ti The CPU can't handle the game being played and that'll hold the GPU back from hitting it's top speed because it's waiting on the CPU. You'll be good for a long time.

One note on your build. I have the same MOBO that you plan on buying. Update the BIOS as soon as possible. it's on it's 5th revision and will really help the stability of the system. Ryzen is still new so check back at the MSI website every couple of weeks for new updates as general and memory stability is still being worked on and updated on a regular basis.

The white label CX750m is the same platform as the old one, with a few updates. The CX650m is a far better unit. Evga B2 750 would be my pick for power supply at that wattage range, and price bracket.

There's going to be bottlenecks everywhere. It's inevitable. Just like how there's always a winner and loser in a race. Just make sure each component itself performs as you need it.

The CPU is great for 60hz gaming + programs that take advantage of multi core. Unless your playing a handful of poorly optimised games that struggle for 60fps at 1080p, the GTX 1070 is better off at 1440p 60hz.

I think the highest limiting factor within most AAA games will be the monitor.

logainofhades - you're missing my point .
The 2012 cx430 /500/600 were group regulated units , the 2012 750m was a dc-dc regulated unit - completely different platform, yes still with some poorly chosen component choices but definitely isn't a tier 4 unit.

[strike]The 2015 cxm750 is not the same platform at all , its the exact same quality as the cxm550 & 650 - the only thing it has in common with the old model is they're both dc-dc units so the rail ratings are the same. [/strike]

Oops - my apologies & it seems you're completely right about it being a slightly improved rehash .
That said I stand by what I said , neither 2012 or 2015 model deserve to be in tier 4 in any list - they're fairly decent Psu's.

Ram is pretty simple in terms of performance. Nearly all ram comes from three oems which still differ indistinguishably. Just compare the frequency, CAS, pricing and aesthetics.

That PSU tier list mentions before is filled with flaws and isn't properly odered. It is best just to read professional reviews. A better PSU will increase longevity of itself and even other parts, benefit overclocking,reduce crashes and dying due to the more protection it has (e.g. Against temperature).

Ram (best priced easily)

PSU (best priced again) - although it would not be a massive worry to me if its going to cost you money to return it
